Serverless–edge computing with mobile document agents

Abstract

Exchange of documents as email attachments in collaborative decision making lacks support for keeping track ofthreads of performed activities, which often leads to email overload and strain. A proactive document email attach-ment linking the passive content and active services could build reproducibility in collaborative processes, even ifworkers may tend to exchange emails indiscriminately. The key role in achieving this is played by the migration pathembedded in the document code, which when interpreted by the specially designed smart email client can supportdocument steering. Owing to this, the email system can provide a platform for document-centric processing and canintroduce self-organization in the dynamically set virtual organization using it. Proactive documents exchanged asstandard MIME attachments enable any type of working content with reduced workload and improved work perfor-mance, without any substantial investment in the job resources already available in the workplace. Moreover, theyenable smooth incorporation of email-based collaboration in a solution that pushes the boundaries of building overallintelligence and enhanced cognition across the cloud-edge continuum.
